Description
The MTI “Virtue” Training Packet is composed of 5 “Virtue” and 1 Military OnRamp training plan, developed for military and other tactical athletes. These plans were first designed and “lab ratted” at our Wyoming facility in late 2014 and early 2015. They were updated in March 2017, 2020 and most recently in 2022.
Today, the plans in the Virtue Packet, especially Humility, Valor and Fortitude, are key go-to training blocks for tactical athletes from all areas attending special forces and other types of selections.
Overall, the Virtue Plans train the following fitness attributes:
- Relative Strength
- Work Capacity
- Endurance (running, rucking, gym-based multi-modal)
- Chassis Integrity

The Military On Ramp Training Plan establishes base fitness for the follow-on plans.
The price for this packet of plans represents about 30% savings over the combined price of the individual plans.

What is the difference between the Greek Hero plans and the Virtue Series Plans?
1. The training plans in both series were both initially completed by our tactical lab rats, including myself, at our facility in Wyoming. The Greek Hero Series deploys our most recent programming. The Virtue Series deploys our previous version.
2. Both Series are designed as day to day programming for tactical athletes. The Virtue Series concurrently trains strength, work capacity, endurance and chassis integrity. The Greek Hero Series trains these attributes plus TAC SEPA (tactical speed, explosive power, and agility).
3. Each plan in the Virtue Series trains these attributes concurrently, but each also emphasizes certain attributes. Fortitude, for example, emphasizes gym-based strength and moderate paced, mid distance endurance. Some of the Greek Hero plans likewise have areas of emphasis, but it is more subtle.
The more defined emphasis in the Virtue Series allows me to target these plans to athletes relatively new to our programming, or who need to work on specific areas.
In general the Virtue programming is simpler, more direct and more “jagged.”
As tools I can deploy for athletes the Virtue plans are a little more blunt. The Greek Hero plans are more fluid, subtle and sophisticated.
The Virtue Plans make a great foundation for the Greek Hero plans.
